An AI query says I have to remove the snap first, then install the package, which I presume will lose everything I have configured (12 "users", using different emails by default, configured for games, etc) Convert Brave Snap to Apt Yes, there are instructions for converting from the Brave browser snap to a directly apt-installed version, although the process requires manual steps. The snap version of Brave is community-maintained and may not always be up-to-date, so the official recommendation is to use the apt method instead. To switch from the snap to the apt version, you first need to remove the snap installation. This can be done using the command sudo snap remove brave. After removing the snap, you can install the official apt version by following the standard procedure. This involves installing required packages, adding the Brave GPG key, and adding the Brave repository to your system's sources list. The key steps are: Install apt-transport-https and curl: sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl Retrieve and install the Brave GPG keyring: sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring... Add the Brave repository to your sources list: echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list Update your package index and install the Brave browser: sudo apt update && sudo apt install brave-browser This process ensures you have the official, up-to-date version of Brave installed via the standard package manager.
